Definitely louder, deeper, and throatier burble than stock. The non-res effectively minimises too much noise intruding into the cabin whilst driving.

Cheers Mojo. Also where did you get the Rear end from?. Would the performance change if i put the R32 exhaust onto a Gti?

Hi Blake-R,
I sourced the exhaust from a local shop which has since closed down. The exhaust comes in two main parts:
* down-pipe with sports cat. Known an turbo back option
* exhaust pipe from cat to tail pipes. Also referred to cat-back option
Try this link out for further info http://www.millteksport.com/exhaust.products.cfm?variantid=159
For maximum performance you will need to go for the full exhaust system i.e. both the parts mentioned above. I went for the cat-back option - I've been told this does improve performance as the system allows exhaust fumes to travel more freely. The pipe size is larger and the contours it follows have less bends. Problem is that I had my car remapped the same week as the exhaust was fitted, so I have no way of separating how much the exhaust alone improved performance. I suspect it wasn't much.
To be honest I did it for the looks and exhaust note. The exhaust system is modular, so you could go for the down-pipe bit at a later stage. I'm hoping to do this at some point...the only disadvantage here is that the remap I have will need adjusting to avoid the lambda sensor tripping some warning lights in the car.
The rear bumper, fixtures and fitting were from the local VW dealership - suggest you haggle with parts for a couple of percent off.
Apologies if some of this is a statement of the obvious, but I thought I may as well cover off the queries I asked before investing my cash.

Sorry to hear of your brake problems.
Show the TT shop the pic above - the pic shows what looks a caliper hanging by its hose..................Not good.
Hope you get the brakes sorted soon, have you got a refund?

Why is it not clever?
